Man I wish I had a boss like Sam when I worked in Landscaping. I started out with no experience and was thrown onto a crew that was all spanish. I didn't speak a word of it and we went out. No freaking idea what I was doing, how to run the equipment... anything. These guys are doing it right!

10 minutes in and I'm thinking this guy is amazing to work for. Seems like a guy that doesn't have any excuses and sees the bigger picture.

Brian, I love these shop tours of the 1mil plus companies. Keep up the good work!!!

I pray that my lawn care business (Tough Cuts LLC) is this in the future and look up to these guys. I'm here in the same town and see them everywhere and I've watched them improve their business and the look of the company. FUTURE GOALS

Wow. I started my company from scratch ten years ago and only have 16 trucks. They have 60?!?!! Congrats! They must get a lot of snow. That’s the only way to grow that fast. I’m hoping for a good Winter to jump my company larger again.

Great video and enjoyed the tour. Sam is a great man of integrity and runs an awesome operation.

What a great human

He brought a corporate feel to the lawncare industry looks like he has a lot of 6s type of organizational skills and pre trips excellent smith driving system pre jobs all paperwork that helps crews get the big picture

So awesome to see a FuelCloud customer getting the most out of our system! Great work!

I have been on the other side of the lawn business as I didn't want or allow it to grow too much. I didn't want my business to run me. I was in cooperate world and being part of the management team, I felt the business ran all of us if you know what I mean. As I've become older I'm planning on growth and am positioning myself to do just that. Only real issue I see is workers. Its why I've worked alone most of the 20+ years I've done it. Wanted to share this, i know my story is different. After working 70-80 hours a more through college and well into my career, I've had enough of everything coming in second to the business, but there has to be a time where you sacrifice all to be successful. Its your choice

He said he uses the Isuzu trucks as sidewalk rigs? I would definitely look into switching over to them for our mowing crews if I knew for sure they could make it through the snow for sidewalk crews. We currently have the same amount of sidewalk crews as mowing crews so this is interesting. I wonder if they chain the tires. Because the Isuzu trucks are 2wd.

two thumbs up on this one...

Bout to move to Flint and put in an app lmao

Great stuff Brian. I was wondering out of all the shops you have visted who's the biggest? In revenue and/or shop size.

I’ve asked the revenue of most of them, not really privy to share, but the ones we’ve done have ALL been impressive, that’s why they’re on the tour amigo! They’ve all had their cool and unique setups, that’s what makes it so much fun to visit!

Brian, how's the 14' plow, working out for you? Does the truck have the grunt to push that much? I'm curious how your truck holds up with pushing much more snow at a time! Have a blessed Thanksgiving and Christmas sir!!

"Better than I deserve". Was that a Dave Ramsey reference?

You have a higher percentage of accidents going in and out of parking lots, gas stations etc etc that's why my boss does fuel on site

Seems like a great guy cares about his employees and he has everything dialed in for efficiency seems like he’s very down to earth which is important not like Ballard

I got to meet Sam earlier this year. Very genuine person really cares about his employees

I need to pick someone’s mind that does snowplow, lawn, and rental property work. Currently starting my own business and would love to talk.

Anybody have a “space” counter?

Private office space is nice as it reduces background noise over just cubicles. Although I'd do a partial glass door so you can keep tabs on your employees and still have the door closed.

A key piece to having a successful company full of hard workers is having trust, what you suggested is a good way to create a toxic work environment. Should be no reason to “keep tabs” on your office employees. Workers who feel appreciated will be happy to be there and get their job done.

Bro I live like 3 minutes from there 😂

I’d like to know what he makes off of that 10mill

Great video and great guy but this doesn’t make sense. How could an average of 110 employees only bring in 90k of revenue for the year. This operation has way to much overhead and expensive equipment to only have 10m in revenue. If true then to keep there doors open then these employees are only making 20-30k a year or they are in some serious debt. I would think an operation this size would be around 20 million

What my real question is, does the company own 100% in cash all of their equipment and buildings in their name not the banks name?
